What I was up to on May 24, 2025

Back to the archive.

I am halfway through my stay as a visiting student at MIT, which is going great!

Yesterday, I went to my first ballet at the Boston Opera House. I got to see Raymonda re-envisioned by Mikko Nissinen (the Boston Ballet artistic director), as well as two pieces by Jiří Kylián; 27’52” and Petite Mort. I found 27’52” especially curious, to put it one way.

Last week, I submitted my first paper to a conference. To celebrate, I went on a weekend trip to Cape Cod with some friends. The weather was good, but unfortunately not warm enough to swim.

I also recently gave myself a buzz cut 👨‍🦲. Thanks Edu (top right in the picture) for the trimmer!
